What you likely need
Your highest-leverage Festival events sit at the intersection of AI-native infrastructure founders stress-testing Stripe's agentic rails, translational biotech leaders who can accelerate Arc's biological foundation model ambitions, and the tight circle of CFOs and GCs who have actually run a late-stage S-1 process at scale. You also need a quiet syndicate session to codify your angel thesis before deal-flow outpaces your framework, and a focused offsite with multi-hat founders who have operationalized calendar partitioning across parallel high-stakes roles.

- tacticalAn invite-only angel syndicate session with Stripe Press-adjacent operators and YC S19/W21 batch founders building AI-native developer infrastructure, to codify a written investment thesis that turns Patrick's distribution and deal-signal advantage into a repeatable framework
